This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
OOC: It has been around 45 minutes since Hox left the One Eyed Jax.
Hox Stealth: 22 Hox Sleight of Hand: 23
Dagger vs. Hox: 25 Dagger vs. Hox: 23
The cloaked figure immediately spots Hox appear over the rooftop, but his warning shout to the half-elf is far too late. The winged kobold swoops down as the half-elf is holding the box of gems out, and swiftly grabs the box of gems for himself and flies off.
"You idiot! You were followed!" the cloaked man throws two daggers, impossibly fast, but Hox rounds the corner of the alley in the air and both missiles strike the brick of the nearby building. The daggers soon reappear in the man's hand, and he exits the scene, disappearing into darkness, leaving the half-elf wailing in distress.
Hox quickly stuffs the box into his assortment of pouches as he looks to see if anyone is chasing him. And just a precaution, he takes a bit of a detour on the rooftops and the streets back to One-Eyed Jax tavern.
Another fifteen minutes pass before the back door to the One Eyed Jax Tavern open, revealing a small hooded figure holding a familiar box. Hox has returned with the goods.
Gruun takes a quick look around to see if anyone else is marking the return of the Kobold before subtly beckoning him to return to their table. "What did you find little one?"he "quietly" rumbles
Zane whispers, "WHAT? HOW? Were we not supposed to be looking for a human woman named Sal? I mean this might be interesting, but not our primary objective."
Killian puts her drink aside. "Perhaps we can use these to draw out this woman? Or to pay for information? If these belonged to a criminal... organization, here, then it stands to reason that we are now once again in the thick of it."

"I recall some gems have been stolen from a mage nearby. I've had enough dealings with powerful magic users, we should rid ourselves of these before we get the blamed for taking them in the first place. Zane can you check if one or two are safe for Hox to keep?"
Zane is still mortified to be discussing these things in the open. He says in a normal voice, "Lets discuss that later, we need to go to the market anyways."
(and if others are up for moving out then Zane will most definitely not head to the market)
Zane stands up and motions for the others to follow, picks his path through the crowd, waves to the barkeep and exits. At the very first possibility he ducks into an alley and pulls others with him. "Hox, however you got those stones, someone must have seen you. I will make you invisible and we will find a safe spot. Follow us closely please." And he casts Invisibility on Hox.
He would then chat with Killian and Gruun like nothing has happened, heading to some place he has found to be safe over the last few days.
OOC: A tavern like the One-Eyed Jax is actually probably the safest place that you've seen in Luskan. Other than the Hosttower of the Arcane, the majority of the city is inhabited by dockworkers and thieves. The nicest inn in town is the Seven Sails Inn, run by the Arcane Brotherhood outside of the Hosttower. Other than getting a room there, you're looking at the One Eyed Jax or an abandoned storehouse in Rat Alley as places to keep a low profile.
OOC: Zane would head to wherever they have stayed these last few days or weeks. And upon getting there ritual-cast the bubble-hut and only inside it would he allow Hox to reveal what he stole.
Zane is getting nervous as a lot of time has passed. "I hope he's OK. How long do you think we should give him?"
Hox prepares himself to dive down. He has to wait for the exchange to happen then he'll swoop in for the jewels.
(About how long have we been waiting in the Tavern? If its more than 20 mins I would agree with Zane and leave to go looking for our friend.)
Killian pipes up. "He was not concerned for us, we should not be concerned for him. He seems quite capable."

Zane is stress-eating, "I wonder what's in those pies. They're really good!"

Killian nods in his direction. "See? Nothing to worry about."

Gruun takes a quick look around to see if anyone else is marking the return of the Kobold before subtly beckoning him to return to their table.
"What did you find little one?" he "quietly" rumbles
"Shinies! Many Shinies!" Hox places the box near Gruun.

Killian shakes her head, as if to clear it. This is not her game. "Fine. I will follow your lead, for now."
